I thought we saw the Coman money next year

 

[Juventus 32]

You mean last year? No. Bayern will pay in 3yrs. So Beppone can manoeuvre on that.

I think that if anything, this is a clear message to Pogba that we are in it to win it, and win it now.

 

[Juventus 32]

I really hope we keep Pogba will be 100/10 mercato. Monster Team.

That's what I was thinking. It's basically saying instead of going to a EL team, you can stay for one more year and try for CL.

Pogba leaving this world class team to barely-made-the-EL Manchester :bandwagon:

Not if Higuain is purchased over 2 years. That number drops by 47 mil.

Does the clause say it can be purchased over 2 years though?

 

[KB824]

Not if Higuain is purchased over 2 years. That number drops by 47 mil.

And if you sell Zaza and Pereyra for 40 million combined, that drops it even further.

So now you are talking 46 million net spend.

Paul:

You can either be the #10 of a world class team, win the Champions League, and Ballon D'or

or

Go become the #6 on a Europa League-level team in England

 

[KB824]

Does the clause say it can be purchased over 2 years though?

Yes. That has been reported many times. I think THAT is the loophole that allowed us to make this move.

 

[Juventus 32]

Does the clause say it can be purchased over 2 years though?

According to the media yes.

 

[ClaudiOHHH]

With that said, I feel like this whole thing is Beppe selling Paul more so Paul leaving Juventus

 

[baggio]

Cool.

I agree with you. Do you think the club is going all-in for CL with the idea to keep Paul for one more year, and sell him next summer to balance the books?

Class midfield options are kind of light this summer, so perhaps we wait for the opportunity next summer. I just don't get Pogba wanting to leave this summer, especially with the signings we have made, and labour Europa League obscurity.

For sure, we are far more aware of our strengths in Europe now. I think the board kind of has a pulse on the team, and realise they may need to make some uncharacteristic short term decisions keeping the change of guard in mind, a couple of years from now. Which is why, I could even see us make a move for someone like Mascherano, to help us obtain the immediacy in results.

Regards the Pogboom deal, it's a bit of a double edged sword. Seeing the rate at which he is growing, maybe the board knows where they will have to cap off as far as their wage limits go. And with Madrid not biting the bait despite the ban, they probably realise that Mourinho will build his team from the ground up in season one, and pay a premium for it if required, especially when it coincides with all the new money the TV deal brings in.

Though for the player himself, his biggest leap as a professional footballer, would happen this season, if he stayed with Juve, and be part of one of the most complete teams in Europe. Simply crazy, anyone would trade this team for the current United. Just cannot wrap my head around it myself. And it's crazy how we lose in the middle if he leaves, even with the acquisition of Higuain. Just hope Beppe doesn't reinvest in the likes of Witsel. Herrera is where it's at.

Can't stop laughing bout all the Luke Shaw's, Chris Smalling's and Daily Blind's they have in their team.

Sir Alex left that rainy shithole just in time. (no offense @Nicholas )

Pardon my ignorance, but there really is a player named Daily Blind?
